Bayesian Goodness-of-Fit Testing with Mixtures of Triangular Distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the consistency of the Bayes factor in goodness of fit testing for a parametric family of densities against a nonparametric alternative. Sufficient conditions for consistency of the Bayes factor are determined and demonstrated with priors using certain mixtures of triangular densities. Running headline: Bayesian Goodness of Fit Testing

Bayesian Tests for Goodness of Fit Using Tail Area Probabilities*
Classical goodness of fit tests, including exact permutation tests, are well-defined and calculable only if the test statistic is a pivotal quantity. Examples of problems where the classical approach fails include models with constraints, Bayesian models with strong prior distributions, hierarchical models, and missing data problems. Using posterior predictive distributions, we systematically e...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Goodness of Fit Tests
We survey in some detail the rather small literature on Bayes nonparametric Testing. We mostly concentrate on Bayesian testing of goodness of fit to a parametric null with nonparametric alternatives. We also survey briefly some related unpublished material. We discuss both methodology and posterior consistency.
متن کاملمدل یابی انتشار بیماری های عفونی بر اساس رویکرد آماری بیز
Background and Aim: Health surveillance systems are now paying more attention to infectious diseases, largely because of emerging and re-emerging infections. The main objective of this research is presenting a statistical method for modeling infectious disease incidence based on the Bayesian approach.Material and Methods: Since infectious diseases have two phases, namely epidemic and non-epidem...
متن کاملThe Family of Scale-Mixture of Skew-Normal Distributions and Its Application in Bayesian Nonlinear Regression Models
In previous studies on fitting non-linear regression models with the symmetric structure the normality is usually assumed in the analysis of data. This choice may be inappropriate when the distribution of residual terms is asymmetric. Recently, the family of scale-mixture of skew-normal distributions is the main concern of many researchers. This family includes several skewed and heavy-tailed d...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Reliability of the Electronic Components Using Censored Data from Weibull Distribution: Different Prior Distributions
The Weibull distribution has been widely used in survival and engineering reliability analysis. In life testing experiments is fairly common practice to terminate the experiment before all the items have failed, that means the data are censored. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to estimate the reliability function of the Weibull distribution with uncensored and censored data by using B...
